Abstract

The purpose of the article was to determine the specific features of public control over the activities of certain law enforcement agencies and to develop suggestions for their improvement. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific (method of philosophical dialectics, etc.) and special legal methods of cognition (systemic, theoretical and legal, formal and dogmatic, comparative, state modeling method, etc.) The authors have developed their own definition of the concept of public control over the activities of law enforcement agencies. In the conclusions it has been offered to develop and approve the Law of Ukraine «On public control over the activities of law enforcement and supervisory bodies», which would systematize all forms of public control provided for in the Ukrainian legislation. Finally, suggestions have been developed for the introduction of positive international experiences of public control over the activities of law enforcement agencies in various countries.
